'The Rise of Phoenixes' Season 2 could still rectify the tragic ending and return the story to the novels

Shocking us all, 'The Rise of Phoenixes' took a completely different take on the ending from the novel 'Huang Quan' it is based on and separated our loved ones for good

'The Rise of Phoenixes' is the Chinese drama that came into existence in the Netflix library almost out of the collective minds of lovers of the periodic romance genre. For 70 episodes, we waited patiently for Ning Yi (Chen Kun) and Feng Zhiwei (Ni Ni) to weed out their issues, power through the political disparities that separate them and find their happily ever after with each other. After all, that is what happened in 'Huang Quan', the novel by Tianxia Guiyuan on which the show is based.

Spoiler Alert

Shocking us all, however, the C-drama took a completely different take on the subject and separated our loved ones for good.
